New Materials Collection in Imageworks: Come see and touch STUFF!

In March, the Art, Architecture and Engineering Library at the University of Michigan held an open house to announce their collection of materials leased from Material ConneXion. The collection is housed in Imageworks, our visual resources library and consists of samples of 200 materials, a selected subset of the over 6,500 materials found in the Materials ConneXion® database to which we had previously subscribed. We envision the collection being most heavily used by the School of Art & Design, and the Architecture and Materials Engineering departments, but the collection is available for in-house use to anyone.

In preparation for this new collection, special mobile shelving units were created by the UM Cabinet Shop to display the materials. Susan Garret, our Visual Resources Cataloguer and Coordinator, and her staff created a database of the 200 samples which cross-references the Material ConneXion database.
